AMEKIOAN SEED TKAOE ASSOCIATION. 

 President, L. L. Olda, Madiaon, Wla.; ■ecn- 

 (•rr-treaeurer, 0. B. Kendel, Olereland, O. 



David H. Dunlap has succeeded the 

 late E. V. Dungan as treasurer of William 

 Henry Maule, Inc., Philadelphia. He has 

 been with the firm for fifteen years. 



The Omaha Seed Co. has been opened 

 at 1403 South Fourteenth street, Omaha, 

 Neb., by two former emj)loyees of De 

 Giorgi Bros., Council Bluffs, la., Josepli 

 Pribyl and Anton Eathouz. ■ 



' The Germain Seed & Plant Co. and the 

 Morris & Snow Seed Co., both of Los 

 Angeles, have recently added floral de- 

 partments, the former company putting 

 the department in the retail store and the 

 latter placing the department in the com- 

 pany's nursery. 



Ix order to meet the large demand for 

 his calendula seed, George J. Ball, of 

 Glen Ellyn, Jll., has sent a pound to one 

 of the i)est California seed growers to 

 grow the seed outdoors. The needed quan- 

 tity t>f seed can be produced there more 

 (juickly than in his own groonhouses and 

 will be^ he believes, of better quality. 



J. A. Brown, of Brown's Bulb Eanch, 

 Capitola, Cal., sails from New York for 

 England November 15, on the Aquitania. 

 Mr. Brown's errand principally has to 

 do with a quantity of sweet pea seed. 

 In the years since Mr. Brown began grow 

 ing seeds and bulbs on the coast he has 

 made thirty-four trips to New York or 

 beyond. 



Dutch bulbs have cleaned up in good 

 shape; the business has excelled the ex- 

 pectations even of those who imported 

 larger quantities than ever before. The 

 only surplus seems to l)e of single nar- 

 cissi, which appear to be hanging fire with 

 a good many jobbers. Narcissi are an 

 item usually of slow sale, on which it is 

 customary for jobbers to buy cautiously. 

 Indeed, they have bought so cautiously 

 that for the last couple of years there 

 has been some shortage, which caused 

 them nearly all to take hold more freely 

 this season, with the usual result. 



A BID of $23,000 for the business of 

 J. M. Thorburn & Co., New York, as a 

 going concern was accepted by the referee 

 in bankruptcy last week. Carter 's Tested 

 Seeds, Inc., made the offer. Since $5,000 

 in accounts has been collected and $1,700 

 worth of stock sold, the bidder 's net pay- 

 ment will be $16,300, for which the com- 

 pany will receive stock appraised at $18,- 

 000 and accounts receivable of $10,000. 

 The referee estimated general creditors 

 will receive about 33 cents on the dollar. 

 The only bid besides that of Carter's 

 Tested Seeds, Inc., was that of Peter 

 Henderson & Co. for part of the stock. 



CoMSTOCK, Ferre & Co., Wethersfleld. 

 Conn., have just completed getting their 

 large acreages of sweet corn and tomato 

 crops harvested. The company reports 

 good crops and that seed corn is of su- 

 ]ierior quality, due to favorable weather 

 conditions. S. F. Willard, president and 

 treasurer of the company, reports a heavy 

 demand for onion sets. He predicts short- 

 ages in certain vegetable and flower seeds 

 for the coming year, bepause of decreased 

 acreages and the heavy droughts in seed 

 growing sections of this country and Eu- 

 rope. Mr. "Willard recently celebrated 

 his fiftieth anniversary with the company. 

 He is the dean of present-day seedsmen
